if that's including a turntable then the LSR305's may be your best bet. To achieve a new passive setup that's better than those, you'll need at a minimum this receiver with these speakers, which leaves you with ~ $170 for a U-turn orbit, but still short of a phono stage. I've heard that this is a satisfactory budget phono stage, perhaps you could consider it. I have to tell you though, that vinyl is an expensive proposition, and whilst this is a very decent, even competent turntable compared to the Crosleys and the Pyles, it is built to a price, and you might find yourself wanting to upgrade really soon. If you're willing to go used, you might find more options at a similar price point. New, my recommendation would be to perhaps spend a bit more on the receiver and speakers; and add what's remaining to a turntable fund, save up for a bit and get a nice turntable (that's more of a keeper) and a phono stage.

If you think vinyl records have "more fine detail", you're wrong. It makes very little sense to buy a turntable and start a vinyl collection from scratch today.

In any case, you only need a phono stage, not a receiver. Your speakers are powered. If the problem that you want to connect multiple sources, you can get this to do everything or a separate audio switch.
